We wondered what was going on with Wesley. I guess that the fastest loser had gone home and they have a reserve for such eventualities.
Viper is rubbish. We call him Pound Shop Wolf.
Kids like Legend, Apollo and Fury. Probably because they're the biggest hitters. I think my missus has a thing for Giant.
I really like Legend. I wonder how much of it is a character or real 🙂
Agree Viper is rubbish.
I 'might' have mentioned that Diamond and Sabre were very impressive humans and now the whole family just looks at me with raised eyebrows whenever they appear on the show 🙂
They ARE very impressive!
Unlike Viper who seems really rubbish. Wolf used to at least try hard!
It was weird about Wesley...as above we assumed the next fastest loser wasn't available. I wonder how long the filming window is...everyone must get a bit of rest and they can't just knock the whole thing out in a few days?
I think my missus has a thing for Giant.
He certainly seems to be the housewive's choice, I know my GF would happily take a beating from his pugil stick.
I think Diamond is my favourite, she got the right hump on Saturday eh?

I’ve been watching him on YouTube for a few years. He’s certainly confident, and a good TV presenter, but he’s definitely hamming up the character for Gladiators.
Here’s a fun video where he goes out for dinner with Giant…

Absolutely, think it was 2 weeks ago he was struggling not to burst out laughing at one point.

If I had a £ for every time the missus mentioned his thighs... I'd have around £6 by now
As rubbish as Viper is to grown ups, my toddler loves Viper, biting the microphone this week as good as when he elbowed it a few weeks ago!
Still not seen that stopwatch around Clattenburgs neck be used...
Gutted for the female loser this week, seems like if she'd have taken a few seconds to catch her breath before the travellator she would have done it easily!
But that’s the whole point - give too much before the travelator and you’ll fail. It’s happened so many times over the years. It pisses me off that they slow it down so they can finally get up though.
Clattenburg still getting it wrong in his refereeing as well. Giant didn't drop his stick, he used Weslies podium to stop his fall.
Wesley was definitely cheated there, Giant was falling and used his stick on Wes' platform to keep his balance!
Yeh I was gutted for the female loser too. And yes Giant definitely used his stick to balance on Wesley's podium too
Looking forward to the final. We've really enjoyed it as a bit of Saturday evening fun.
Well... Two well deserved winners I guess, but both of our favourites came second 🙄🤣
Roll on for the second series 😄💪
Aye; all good fun in the end. Still gutted for Kerry from last week though.
Shame there was no Sabre tonight 😢
Yeh gutted for Kerry too.
No, Sabre did her hamstring in, but I think she's hoping to get on the next series from what I read.
I think they could ditch/replace a couple for the next series, though that's maybe not fair as it'll not be up to the Gladiators the role and games they play. Viper was a waste of space for me as was Athena.
Sorry really late to this party but just watched the 1st episode and was very pleasantly surprised. I am of the age who watched as a kid every week the 1st time round and then watched the documentary (about a year ago?)of the making of the original American gladiators. Anyway thought that time has moved on and this had the potential to be a bit rubbish especially with 'h and s' these days but absolutely loved it. Laughing out loud at the silly bits (leg end) and just amazing to watch what hard work can do to create an amazing physical specimen of a human being! They are all just gorgeous every one of them. Makes you want to go to the gym and cut out the pies 🤣 oh and bonus points for female DH mtber in the 1st episode.
Yeh Myti was good fun.
Seems Finlay wants to be a Gladiator in the next series, can't see it myself.
This used to be on telly in in our house first time around, I’d sort of watch it in passing, while reading a book or magazine, but I wasn’t really interested then, not at all interested now, I just can’t see the point. 🤷🏼

It’s called light hearted family entertainment
Giant appears to be a regular at Derby velodrome, from the SM coverage.
I appear to be the only Ilkeston resident who hhasn't bumped into him since it was broadcast.
Viper will be back I'm sure, he's more for the kids than the grown-ups.

Is that where he scores his gear? 😉
Kerry stays in a village close to me. Apparently it was filmed months ago, as when it was shown on TV, Kerry was in Europe snowboarding.
Also Sabre (Shelli McCoy) had torn a hamstring so wasnt on and is still recovering.

Lol! I think I'm the only one in our household who repeatedly comments on Giants thighs 😂

Wow. You sound like you'd be fun at parties.
We as a family really enjoyed it. My daughter took an irrational dislike to Marie-Louise based entirely on the fact that she did The Worm.
Favourite Gladiators were Legend and Fury.

This seems to be a fairly common, and entirely reasonable, opinion.
Bronte got robbed worse than Brendog by that refereeing decision in Duel and was apparently injured for the eliminator.
Yes, I have got a bit too into it.
Yeh we weren't M-L fans and the worm probably played a part 🤣
